SOCW 5408 - Special Topics in Children and Family Practice (3)

This course builds on the foundation year and theories discussed in SOCW 5203  to address theories about the impact of race, culture, and gender on family intervention. It focuses on theories that help practitioners assess families from a variety of cultural backgrounds in addition to helping practitioners formulate culturally respectful interventions. This course has a special focus on the intersection between culture and family issues, such as divorce, violence, and substance abuse. Social class, immigration history, and rural versus urban environments, as well as ethnicity will be viewed as playing important roles in families’ cultures. Similarly, the course examines social and family constructions of gender roles and how these impact the adjustment of children and the course of family intervention.
